Entity deduplication in ownership queries
As part of the ownership query API request, FrankieOne will attempt to resolve and deduplicate entities discovered through the ownership structure that are the same individual or organisation. This deduplication is based on attributes received from the business registry data.
For organisation deduplication, either the registered name or registration numbers need to match an existing entity.
For individuals, the following rules are in place :
- Within the ownership structure of the the entity requested in the ownership query (focus entity), exact name matches will be deduplicated (given, middle and family name must all match). This behavior is not configurable.
- Following the focus entity deduplication, additional checks are performed against both the entities found from the ownership query request as well as existing entities in your environment. The default matching criteria below would lead to deduplication between two entities if any of the criteria are met. These criteria can be adjusted or added to through a support request including matching on parts of the name (such as just first + last name rather than full name).
- short address + date of birth
- full address + date of birth
- short address + full name
- full address + full name
- date of birth + full name
